RIA Novosti reports about this.

According to Tsekov, no one has any illusions that NATO’s main target is Russia.

“After the collapse of the USSR, they set themselves the task of weakening and dismembering our country,” the senator said.

Earlier, Polish President Andrzej Duda, who previously came up with an initiative to increase NATO defense spending, said that this idea was addressed to Russia.

Also, Secretary General of the North Atlantic Alliance Jens Stoltenberg said that NATO does not see a military threat to the alliance countries from Russia.
